Do I stay, or do I go? Staying just might be the right answer to drive your career advancement. But it’s a double edged sword: 10+ years with one company in the same role could be the kiss of career death. It could appear you are stagnating. But frequent job hopping paints the picture of you lacking commitment, focus and loyalty. A hiring manager sees a pattern of job discontent and wonders: How long will you stay with me? How much will I need to invest in this person, only to see them jump ship within the first two years?
Fortune magazine outlines best practices for career growth in the article: What are the Best Practices for Career Growth? One of their key recommendations: Avoid job hopping. Instead devise a calculated career advancement plan, with key steps and career milestones to guide your career growth.
Wishing you much career success!
